DH has a conference in Orlando from Nov. 2-7...trying to decide whether to plan a trip to Disney before or after. In addition to attending the FWF, we are hoping to either to attend MNSSHP or MVMCP...which do you suggest? Would be our first time at either”

Hey there Danielle, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!

What a great idea to add a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort to your husband's work trip. I know lots of people who plan their business trips just so they can squeeze in a little extra Disney fun. Let's help you make the most of your magical detour!

The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is a tasty way to kick things off. I never miss it, so I've definitely got some favorite dishes I look forward to year after year (Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup for the win!). You'll have a blast tasting your way around the world sampling the cuisines of so many cultures.

Now the hard part: choosing between the spooktacular Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and the glittering Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Both have special treats, exclusive parades and a fun, festive atmosphere. If you took a poll of my fellow panelists, we'd probably split right down the middle. For me, though, Christmas takes the (fruit) cake, so I'd probably choose the Christmas party. Plus, if you've never experienced a Disney Christmas, you're in for a real treat. The Magic Kingdom positively glows during the holidays, from twinkling Mickey-shaped wreaths to the shimmery ice lights on Cinderella Castle. It makes for a truly unforgettable holiday.

I hope this helps you plan your magical visit to Walt Disney World, Danielle. Please stop by and see us again real soon!

Meet the Panelist: Kathy, Florida

I've lived my whole life just an hour's drive from Walt Disney World, so I've been a regular visitor for as long as I can remember. Even after all these years and so many visits, I love that there's still so much to discover! Now that I'm a mom myself, seeing my favorite place through my son's eyes has given me a whole new perspective that I enjoy sharing with other parents of young children.Learn More About Kathy
